New issue of Music Week out now

In the latest issue of Music Week, we ask will radio save the UK stars? As research shows British acts perform better on-air than on streaming services, the biz backs radio to help break new UK music.

Elsewhere, BMG US boss Zach Katz takes on The Big Interview, while Alexi Cory-Smith gives Music Week her first interview in her new role as UK president. There's also news on grime at the BRITs, ticket sales at AEG Live's British Summer Time Hyde Park and a profile of venue management specialist VMS Live.

In addition, we investigate whether the music biz make real money from Virtual Reality, and there’s some deep analysis of the US market trends and biggest sellers as we look at the year-end figures from across the pond.

As usual, we have all the very latest charts from the past week plus a whole lot more. Subscribe here.
